I was looking for a copy of my favorite quote, when I ran across this article that pretty much sums up everything that I was going to say. Well, except for the details, of course

I like the full version of the serenity prayer

[anonymous]

'Cause there's some good stuff after the first 4 lines with which most of us are familiar:

God, grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can,
And Wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.

By Reinhold Neibuhr

hmmm, a little too religious for me, when you take the whole poem in.

I'm not much for praying, but I'm a big fan of serenity.

[newfern]

I have been eating 1100 calories and working out for an hour daily, and I *still* gained weight. Thank god I'm working at home or I'd have to go in in my nightgown. It's all that fits.

I dunno, since you're so little, but I thought that for any adult human you weren't supposed to go under 1200 or you'd hit the saving mode? Maybe upping calories would actually help?
